I didn’t see Bob until a couple or three years ago…the Rough and Rowdy Ways tour, but it was a magical feeling just being in the same zip code with him. No classics played of course. The closest to that was Gotta Serve Somebody with a rocked up rhythm. I envy people who saw him play It’s Alright Ma or similar tunes. My favorite album? Hard to say, but I think the one that means the most to me is Blood on the Tracks because by that time I was of an age where I could really appreciate a new Dylan release.

A young kid I knew in high school in 1963 told me about this singer that he wanted me to hear, and that was Bob. He kinda painted a mental picture of a folk singer type who made songs that made him laugh and I liked the kid, he was from Syria, so much that the referral stuck in my brain and that became one of the reasons I searched for this music. There was obviously no Google back than, so when Bob's first records came out I hunted them down right away. The kid who had described Dylan's humor and fresh approach to performance was a unique person, so I always remembered his fascination of the unique folk singer. It led to me owning 3 record stores beginning in my University years. I'm 77 yrs old so I have been a long time Dylan fan.

I met Bob Dylan when I was 15. He was lifelong friends with my friend’s mom from the east coast. They had moved to Oklahoma, and when he came to play an okc show, he stopped in to say hi to my friends mom. I knew Like a Rolling Stone and that was about it at the time. He was super nice even though I didn’t become a fan until 10 years later. I had heard of him, but wasn’t impressed at the time.

My Bob Dylan anecdote: In 1995 my band The Nubiles featured on the same bill at a festival in Stratford Upon Avon, UK. While I was in the catering tent with a band mate, the great man entered alone, got himself a nice big slice of cake (chocolate I think?) and sat down at a table almost opposite to enjoy it. We were in awe just to see him eating cake! Not wishing to intrude upon the moment we maintained a respectable distance. I remember his warm demeanour with great affection!

This was great, and thank you. And Dylan's a genius, but I'm with Peter Case: No need to meet him. Years ago (mid-70s) a couple we knew were living on Point Dume, and she got to know Dylan at their kids' soccer games. They'd jog together. Blew my mind that Dylan jogged (and that he wanted to hang out with this housewife). I'm guessing for him normal relationships are pretty rare. Through sheer coincidence, I got to watch him do an acoustic set of some of his great songs (Blowin', Tambourine Man, etc) from the wings at one concert, and I couldn't believe my luck. Never in my life thought I'd have an opportunity to see something like that. (Also coincidentally, Bob's mom was standing next to me.)

A very enjoyable 2 hours Otis, Lay Lady Lay was the real first time I peaked to Dylan. Id just turned 14 and there was just something about the guitars and Bobs voice that made that song bigger than anything I ever heard. I saved up and bought Nashville Skyline and Blonde on blonde. I listened to those 2 albums nonstop for the rest of the summer. My friend and I were just learning how to play guitar and started learning what we could, I already knew a few of Hank sr tunes and picked up Girl from the North Country by seeing Johnny Cash do it on TV. Bob certainly helped with my musical education. Ive seen him maybe a dozen times or more, i even brought my children to see him, my youngest who's 29 loves Bob, his brother likes Blood on the tracks and thats about where it ends. Thanks again Otis for all you do.

JOB WELL DONE !!! I was on the edge of my chair thru-out this entire show. I am a BIG Dylan fan since I was a kid ND My older brother started bringing records into the house; he was SO cool and we would listen to music and talk for hours sometimes. Dylan used what he called " imagery" in all his lyrics. These were the best stories I have ever heard, told by the best choice of people in my opinion.....the ones who worked with him and got to talk with him as a person !!!

To Kenny's yarn about seeing Van Morrison with Georgie Fame : A bass player friend of mine was supposed to do a European tour with Van . The band rehearsed for several weeks with the MD , but no actual physical presence of Van , because apparently Mr Morrison doesn't like rehearsal rooms ( or bands for that matter ) Anyhoo , shortly before they are supposed to head off , Van goes out to see Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames , sits in for the encore , has the time of his life , then hires the entire ensemble for his tour . My pal got paid for the rehearsals , but never once got to be in the same room as ' The Man ' .

Hey, great work! I wanted to cite a couple reasonably recent examples of a live band at a large venue coming out ragged and hanging in there long enough for the music to take full flight. First I remember Willie Nelson's Family Band at the Meadowbrook venue in NH in 2014 (I think) - opening with Whiskey River. My friends and I looked at one another maybe 16 bars in like "oh, right, they are after all about 80 years old" but about a minute and a half into it they gelled and locked in for the whole set. Another is Dead and Co. in 2023 at Fenway. Very similar kind of thing.

I once had a brief conversation with Graham Parker who it seems opened for Bob Dylan at one time. He related an experience of a conversation he had with a member of Dylan's band and he asked him what Dylan was like ... The reply was, "I really don't know, I've never met him personally to have any conversation." He even said that Dylan didn't rehearse with his band at that time.

Back in ‘80 I bought 3 Dylan albums all on sale at a local record store. Hard Rain, Bringing it All Back Home, Times Are a Changin’. For $5.99 and $3.99. There were brand new albums. Those albums were very important to me as a budding guitar player/singer. Some of my proudest moments were learning Dylan tunes to play and sing.

nice compilation of stories. I saw Dylan in Knoxville TN in the mid 90s at an intimate theater. In the middle of a powerful version of "Everything is Broken" a light fixture came crashing down right next to the bass player. the music halted for an instant as Dylan glanced back to make sure nobody in his band was dead then he looked back out at the audience and he belted out everything is broken and the band restarted. the audience went crazy and rushed to the front of the stage for the whole rest of the show.

As a fellow poet I remember thinking the way Subterranean Homesick Blues was presented was so cool how the reader had single cards to see instead of a page of paper It was read quickly as he flipped the cards which I liked the tempo of that beat I was maybe 12 or 13 and he was the best musician and lyricist I ever heard So intriguing and now at 67 I still feel the same way about whatever he does musically and artistically 🌻🦋

She was quite cheerful and told me about Bob walking with her sister home from school in junior high school. He was around. She knew where his house was. He'd duck into a room and play the school piano. She said he was all about music.

Enjoyed this so much! I've seen a lot of it before, but some of them were new. Especially the Ray Padget interview which finally pushed me to buy the book. I wanted to chime in on Infidels - This was the record that turned me into the fanatic that I am today. Always love Dylan since my Dad played an 8-track of Greatest Hits Vol. 1 on a trip to the Grand Canyon when I was 8 years old. Moving forward, I was a huge Dire Straits fan in high school and it forced me to revisit Dylan right after graduation. I hear you regarding the 80's reverb, but the playing is fantastic and the hi-fi audiophile levels are in tact, the record sounds great loud. AND THE SONGS could be as good of a collection as ever. Licensed To Kill doesn't get enough credit in the catalog talk. Can't wait to eventually catch up to you down the road! Thanks for all the tip-top entertainment!

I’m 80 and recall the local DJs referring to Bobby Vee as “The Fargo Flash” when he first arrived on the scene. I think he was born and raised in Fargo ND, not Hibbing MN as mentioned. Bob Dylan was born in Duluth MN however he did live in Hibbing from 1948 to 1959. I became aware of Dylan in 1964 when I overheard him singing “The Ballad of Hollis Brown” on a stereo system in the dorm room across the hall. My wife and I attended his 1978 concert at The St Paul Civic Center on Halloween night. Her wonderful father stood in line for hours to buy our tickets since we were both at work. As I recall some critics gave the concert a low rating but we thought it was terrific. In 1965, Dylan was loudly booed at the Minneapolis Auditorium for going electric in the concert's second half. Glad I wasn’t there to witness the disrespect they showed. By the way, I think Dylan’s voice and singing style were ideally suited for the songs he wrote before his singing voice began to falter about 30 years ago.

Otis, pretty far-out at the Savoy with the Subterranean Homesick Blues vid. I first saw it and Don't Look Back at 13ish, and needless to say the film is ingrained into my mind. I first heard Blowing in the Wind and Talkin' New York oddly enough so I ran out and bought his 1st album & Bringing It All Back Home, and loved them both, so I rented a VHS 📼 🎶 😎 🤷 👌 of Don't Look Back which of course blew me away. And dug Donovan, too! Still dig him! But I'm still fairly young enough, but Bob Dylan has always been a treasure of Life. Looking back, (I know, don't! 😅) Elvis, Dylan & the Beats, Ginsberg Kerouac & the rest had tremendous impacts on me, and I remain impacted to this day, really. Thanks for the stories!

Since you ask for our opinions of 'Infidels': I love it and was listening to it on a Walkman pretty continuously at one point back in the day, when I was travelling with minimum belongings. He checks all his usual boxes: melodies, lyrical originality, delivery.. Each of the two sides of the album had one track which I didn't much care for, although they also grew on me because of the words. When I perennially find myself explaining the stand-alone quality of Dylan to people, I often mention 'I and I' as containing the best-ever rhyming of the banal words 'walk' and 'talk' in the history of the music, standing out from the lazy dross that those two words usually trigger in un-blessed songwriters.

Bob was always one of those heroes I wanted to meet but never did. So of course I got to meet his longtime girlfriend Joan Baez. It was in 1974 at the old Chaplin/A&M studios in California. I went there to accompany a guy who was interviewing her for the alternative press. I kept super polite, babysat her son, and never mentioned Bob. Joan was wonderful.

My little brother was working at a large home in Houston twenty years ago helping deconstruct party furniture after a giant soiree at a society event. It was probably three or four in the morning. He casually tells me Bob Dylan was sitting in the garden by himself and they had a nice conversation about this and that. I believe he told me the owner of the house was Bob's long time friend from his early days in New York, maybe his first manager. He said Bob was a nice guy, inquisitive, congenial, interesting. My brother of all people!

Fantastic job Otis. Please interview Lee Harvey Oswald friend Ruth Paine to share her Dylan memories. She absolutely loved Bob as did Lee Harvey’s wife Marina and Ruth’s husband Michael.

I don’t think the ‘little girl’ story is unusual, unless the band member thought it was inappropriate. Just a sweet guy.

What a fantastic compilation. I’ve had to watch it in bits due to time constraints, but sooo enjoyable. Otis, could you do a similar video of Jerry Lee Lewis?

My mind is blown! The Xanthe Littlemore story was in Adelaide, South Australia 15 February 1986. I was front and centre to see Bob for the first time (and about 12 times since) and I remember her. Here we are almost 40 years later and I'm sure she said her name was Sandy, but there you go. Thanks Otis and thanks Ray for that little connection.

Hey there, it’s nice to find someone who was actually there at the gig the night I did that gig with Dylan. I have no photos or recordings of it, so I’d love to hear any recollections you have of it. Your memory appears to be excellent! And you’re right, I often say my name is Sandy when I just don’t want to spell Xanthe again! :)

Ive seen Bob Dylan a lot over the years 88 90 92 2009 and this summer with outlaw festival in st Louis seeing him on a double bill with Merle Haggard was probably my favorite time a hippie lady came up to me before the show and said I had an oura around my head she kinda tripped me out she had written a book about Bob signed by her not Bob I not sure what happened to book I probably put it away somewhere his rolling thunder tour era was another favorite thanks for posting otis
